George and his wife are fantastic hosts. The lunches are to die for. The fields, pond, the wonderful open views.....well, it's just dog heaven. I'll think about it but no promises.<BR/><BR/>MarilynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14982702.post-1141510896463937722006-03-04T17:21:00.000-05:002006-03-04T17:21:00.000-05:00Pat - Not to worry.

She will push him into behaving rather than him teasing her into misbehaving. That is one thing I am completely and totally certain will happen.Margot Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183491858427197526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14982702.post-1141510737258136822006-03-04T17:18:00.000-05:002006-03-04T17:18:00.000-05:00Marilyn -Were it me, I would give the trials a pas...Marilyn -<BR/>Were it me, I would give the trials a pass and get thee to the school. There is always another chance at trialing while there may not be many chances at attending a school like this one. For one thing the chief instructor is getting slower and slower and more and more inclined to just want to stay home. For another, it is getting more and more difficult to find really good locations and I have been told this one is great. Please rethink things and come.Margot Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03183491858427197526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14982702.post-1141509444124206162006-03-04T16:57:00.000-05:002006-03-04T16:57:00.000-05:00Margot,Are you saying that the new client has brou...Margot,<BR/>Are you saying that the new client has brought you an essentially untrained teen-ager, who is going to need to show off for Sanity every day? Yikes! Maybe Wrap should give him a talking to!!<BR/>PatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14982702.post-1141493240046104572006-03-04T12:27:00.000-05:002006-03-04T12:27:00.000-05:00Margot I keep up with the blog daily.

I've floundered a bit since the DRU demise but am concentrating on success with my own dog in AKC competition events. I "would" train Bugsy in obed. with the Koehler E-collar method except that would find me doing this on my own and I desperately need a communitty of dog people after DRU. Yes, I'm going to do that awful attention heeling stuff but at least at the place I have found to train it isn't food, food, food, and never any corrections. It's the best I can do at this point though I have encorporated the e-collar to let Bugs achieve some self control. I so very much wish there was a e-collar comptetition savy trainer up here to work with. "J" doesn't do the competion prep stuff now but getting into schutzhund seriously. Coming down for pointers from you or going to a MAD Gather is never out of question. I do so very much wish you were closer. Your experience and skills are beyond being vast.<BR/><BR/>Marilyn BurrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
